WOTB | IS-8 BECAME A S-TIER TANK !

[@guestguest9]

I’ve finally finished the game getting all tier Xs and now I’m slowly buying all the fun tanks again (T49, Bulldog, Caernarvon, T-34-2). And the IS-8 is definitely next on my list

[@NCA2212]

Don't forget SU-152

[@guestguest9]

@@NCA2212 yeah that and the KV-2, all the fun ones. I’m getting tanks now that have different game mechanics to make the gameplay interesting. That’s why I love autoreloaders, especially the new Italian TDs

[@aleskb]

@@NCA2212 You mean ISU?

[@NCA2212]

@@aleskb No, "SU-152"

[@ElSmiley1000]

Congratulations man! My ocd currently has me on the same task lol currently on the yoh and the new Italian TD line

[@AJR-07]

It is a heavy with its turret and side armor, but plays like a medium with its speed, and also has almost tank destroyer levels and light/medium tank accuracy, Favourite tank BY FAR

1:2O They nerfed the speed by 5km/h in a previous update. I kinda miss that 50km speed cause I like the heavium play style

[@aleskb]

Am with you here!

[@aleskb]

I used to love the IS8, in which I have on of my highest WR, under its previous version. I'll give these changes a try but am not sure I'm gonna like them. I liked playing it like a heavium.

[@tsuaririndoku]

It is literally has similar DPM IS-4 now. IS-7 lines is much much easier to grind as well. For some reason I have no problem with it, but it deserve this buff. But quite disappointed that the hullarmor doesn’t get a buff too.

[@DyivKatyusha]

The IS8 at the current moment is one of my favorite, if not my favorite tank. I just came back to blitz after 7 so months - and I remember when I was grinding the IS-7 on my f2p account I enjoyed the IS8 a lot. After coming back I heard it got buffed so I bought it back and oh boi... I didnt even know what was buffed I just heard it on the WG discord and yeah - the difference is real. I still play it as a Heavium though, although I now know that if I need to go the heavy route - I wont die in 20 seconds.

[@Aerofiq]

Whole IS-7 line needs a buff just like E 100 line had

[@sardonicspartan9343]

They always buff this stuff after i've done the grind. lol

[@randomclips8369]

Is7 line buff?! That's smt from wg i didnt see coming after Is7 nerf

[@syrukai2257]

REALLY. I JUST GOT THROUGH THE DAMN PAIN GRIND

[@galaxik_]

Tbh id rather play IS-8 than the IS-7 since the penetration is good and the mobility is better

[@Pr.Wyvern]

This thing still lacks any form of hull armor, also 5 degrees of gun dep. is really trash in the current meta, IMO it should have at least 6 or 7

[@Realfuckingvampire]

I like heavium play style tbh. I kinda liked the old Is 8 better :(

[@randomshitpost8477]

agree lel

[@NCA2212]

Just like the new sound update,the new Shell looks update,The New Lines update,etc We just need to adapt of what we've been given and get used to it till they Change it again

[@MikhailRinn69]

Old school IS-8 is Goated

[@hydrowolf363]

The IS3 was shit last time I saw yet Pantouf implied it was good. Did it get a considerable buff at some point?

[@toopacked4077]

No but it’s still good. The peek-a-boo play style works near perfect on that tank.

[@wolfeye2717]

Oh when did that happen its been ages since i played it xD always got slapped so hard i didnt bothered playing it anymore

[@FlashAtingGolem131]

Heavium was better. At first it was diffcult to play with, but after some „training” it became a beast in the right hands.

[@nguyeninhchinh3336]

Is this a sign for Obj 277 apperance in Soviet tech tree??

[@MikhailRinn69]

This my first tier 9 tank

[@Kosek2k]

Amazing , u like Stalin tanks

[@culgan86]

Count the number of times Pantou overuses the word Possibility

[@IanSumallo]

Thumbnail is misleading. It still plays like a heavium since it still can't take shots on its hull armor.

[@xaropemacgyver]

[@panotzl4461]

Damn, I'm almost sell this for is 7.

[@antonibazewicz6587]

But the line isnt't very good, tier VIII is poor, tier IX is hard to play, tier X is the only one truly worth to recommend.

[@tomaskapucian9936]

Kv1s still one od best tanks from thos line

[@lostfollower7397]

IS-7 is overrated, I dunno why people still recommend it as one of your 1st tier X's when they are so many better options out there. It has nothing going for it apart from the armor which isn't even that great if you have the skills to aim well and decent pen, it isn't even among the best armor at tier X. Also, the trash pen, mediocre accuracy and relatively low dpm the IS-7 has kills it even more. You'll only do well in it if the enemy is fighting on flat ground and are stupid, but since this is the hulldown meta, people rarely take the fight on flat ground, most opt to go on ridges and hills which the IS-7 struggles at.

Is 8 is what a heavy should be … and the is 7 has been nerffed into oblivion and is one of my least favorite tanks …. It was at one time the best of the best

[@tronix9512]

OoO

[@stan3449]

It's literally better than is 7

[@RodneyWoTB]

No it’s not

[@lostfollower7397]

@@RodneyWoTB At least not on the armor, but on accuracy, dpm, pen, it is way *above* the IS-7 on those stats. The gun is what makes the IS-8 more enjoyable, imagine having only 303mm of premium pen, only 2.5K dpm with gun rammer, combined with that mediocre-close to poor gun handling.

[@RodneyWoTB]

@@lostfollower7397 imagine running rammer on IS7

[@lostfollower7397]

@@RodneyWoTB Imagine liking the IS-7, one of the most overhyped but underwhelming tanks in blitz. Lol, the IS-7 with rammer is just an example to show that even with the rammer it still loses out to the IS-8 even in DPM, but lets not forget it loses to accuracy, reload time, and especially pen. The alpha dmg doesn't even help it much at this point since the difference is only 40 dmg, and with an IS-7 running calli against an IS-8 running rammer(its pen is very good anyway), the IS-8 could reload almost 2 seconds quicker and gain almost 500dpm over the IS-7.

Fucking tank is horrible , not really fast, no frontal armour at all, meds penn you easy, let alone the heavies , they dont even have to aim. Yeah, strong turret, but only 5 degree depression . I don't know .
